Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Who says only women can be jealous?

In an era of gender equality, Meng Chuan is now feeling very uncomfortable.

Although Meng Chuan knew perfectly well that Liu Qian would never betray him.

If Liu Qian wanted to betray someone, she wouldn't have remained single for 28 years.

If Liu Qian wanted to betray him, she wouldn't have turned on the camera to show Meng Chuan.

However, Meng Chuan still felt uncomfortable.

The thought of a man singing to Liu Qian: "Thank you for your love..."

Meng Chuan felt uneasy.

Like a lion.

As soon as it sees another male lion approaching its territory.

This inevitably leads to a war of life and death.

Meng Chuan felt exactly that way at that moment.

Frustrated, Meng Chuan threw down his phone and rushed into the bathroom to take a cold shower.

It only took about ten minutes in total.

When Meng Chuan came out, Liu Qian had already called him again via video.

"What's wrong? My little husband, are you jealous?"

Liu Qian asked with a smile.

At this point, the background behind Liu Qian in the video was no longer the private room.

Instead, it was Liu Qian's own room, which Meng Chuan was very familiar with and which was full of girlish charm.

Seeing this background, Meng Chuan felt much better.

"How could I be jealous? I've always trusted you, and I have absolutely no doubts about you."

Meng Chuan stubbornly insisted:

"I just feel that your colleague doesn't look like a good person."

Men understand men best.

Meng Chuan can trust Liu Qian, but he definitely cannot trust Liu Qian's colleague.

"You're so petty! Today is a colleague's birthday, and she invited all the teachers in our grade to sing together. It wouldn't be appropriate for me not to go; it would make me seem out of place."

Liu Qian explained.

In fact, Liu Qian has never liked those kinds of occasions.

If she were the kind of woman who enjoys having fun, she wouldn't have been single for so many years.

He certainly wouldn't stay at the county high school as a dutiful homeroom teacher.

But her colleague kept pestering her, and she couldn't refuse.

However, Liu Qian resolutely refused to drink alcohol or sing.

She just sat there the whole time.

Of course, given her beauty.

Quite a few single male teachers still take the initiative to show their affection.

This kind of thing has happened quite often before.

Especially the male teacher who was singing "Xiao Fang," the new PE teacher.

He pursued Liu Qian relentlessly.

But Liu Qian never showed any emotion.

Just then, I received a call from Meng Chuan, which gave me an excuse to slip away.

Of course, she was genuinely worried that Meng Chuan would be jealous.

He rushed back and called Meng Chuan.

"Besides, you know me. My face turns red when I drink. Look at my face, I don't drink a drop."

As if afraid that Meng Chuan wouldn't believe her, Liu Qian raised her face, letting Meng Chuan examine her carefully.

"I can't see clearly, can you lower the camera a little?"

Meng Chuan held up his phone, his eyes gazing longingly ahead.

"No, it's not red at all. I really didn't drink a drop of alcohol."

Liu Qian explained, obediently moving the camera down.

To give Meng Chuan a clearer view, she moved the camera even closer to her body.

"Pull your collar open a little, I think I can see some red inside."

Meng Chuan said somewhat anxiously.

"How could this be? I...you...you damned Meng Chuan, you tricked me."

Liu Qian realized what was happening and pouted, acting coquettishly.

"Ha ha……"

(…omitting…the…fees…details…)

The welcome party finally arrived as scheduled.

To Meng Chuan's surprise, the host of the party was Huo Wanxi.

Huo Wanxi is now a big celebrity in the whole school.

Or rather, its reputation is well-known throughout the country.

After all, two super-rich people tipped her more than 30 million in one night.

Huo Wanxi's current fame is in no way inferior to that of A-list celebrities.

Therefore, it's not surprising that the school specifically asked her to host the event.

Zheng Muchen also came, and he even brought a professional photography team with him.

Zheng Muchen came to help Huo Wanxi with her live stream.

Yes, this gala was not only filmed by a television station arranged by the school.

However, Huo Wanxi is also allowed to live stream.

Zheng Muchen certainly didn't want Huo Wanxi to miss out on this wave of attention.

What Meng Chuan didn't expect was...

The show had not yet started before the gala began.

The commendation ceremony began first.

Several school leaders took the stage to give speeches, and all of them mentioned Meng Chuan and Jiang Zhenyu.

Finally, the principal personally announced:

"Based on the outstanding contributions that Meng Chuan and Jiang Zhenyu have made to the field of economics, and the great honor they have brought to our university, it has been decided that Meng Chuan and Jiang Zhenyu will be named Campus Person of the Year and have their names inscribed in the university history museum."

The announcement that his name would be in the school history museum caused a stir among the audience.

Every student at Shanghai University knows how rare this honor is.

Those who have made their mark in the school history museum are all outstanding figures who have made tremendous contributions to the school.

Moreover, this kind of honor cannot be obtained simply by having money.

Among the students who graduated from Shanghai University, there are quite a few who are worth hundreds of millions.

But few names are permanently preserved in the school history museum.

Many professors dedicate their entire lives to their work but never qualify to have their names recorded in the university history museum.

"At the same time, the two were awarded the 'May Fourth Medal' and the 'Principal's Commendation Order', which of course also included scholarships."

The principal continued:

"Furthermore, as the university president, I hereby make a promise to both of them. As long as Meng Chuan and Jiang Zhenyu graduate with their doctorates and stay on to teach at the university, they will be directly promoted to associate professors. If they make any significant contributions in the future, they may even be promoted to professors without any special qualifications."

The audience erupted in cheers.

This promise has made more than just a source of envy for the students.

Even the teachers and professors present were extremely envious.

For ordinary university teachers, the process of being promoted to professor is extremely long.

The transition from teacher to teaching assistant is extremely difficult.

It requires participation in scientific research projects and achieving excellent results.

Many scientific research projects do not yield results in a short period of time.

Afterwards, the lecturers will need to work as teaching assistants for several years.

It also requires academic papers, research achievements, and other requirements.

Finally, there are associate professors.

Reaching the associate professor level at forty is already considered young.

For most people, reaching the associate professor level is the limit.

Those who can go further are all absolute elites in the industry.

Both skill and luck are indispensable.

Meng Chuan and Jiang Zhenyu can be promoted to associate professors as soon as they graduate with their doctorates.

Such favor is rare in history.

Keep in mind, Meng Chuan and Jiang Zhenyu are only freshmen!

Viewers watching Huo Wanxi's live stream online were even more jubilant.

"Now, please welcome Meng Chuan and Jiang Zhenyu to the stage to receive their awards."

Finally, at the principal's invitation.

Meng Chuan and Jiang Zhenyu walked onto the stage.

Moreover, the principal personally presented the awards to Meng Chuan and Jiang Zhenyu.

Meng Chuan was alright, quite calm.

Jiang Zhenyu seemed a little nervous.

However, it's understandable, considering the sheer number of people present—tens of thousands, a truly massive crowd.

It would be a miracle if I wasn't nervous.

After receiving the award, Meng Chuan was "held back" by the principal and made to give a brief speech.

Meng Chuan, of course, could easily come up with such polite words.

It was nothing more than a string of thanks, praising the school, Dean Zuo Silan, and Professor Wei Mingjun.

Finally, he expressed that he would study hard and improve every day.

Then the real welcome party officially began.

It must be said that Shanghai University's welcome party is quite grand.

The stage, lighting, and product quality are all top-notch.

There are quite a few singing, dancing, and even skits.

However, most of the praise came from senior students.

There aren't many new programs.

Just as Meng Chuan was starting to feel sleepy,

Huo Wanxi walked onto the stage:

"The program continues. Next up is a song called 'Learn to Meow' performed by our freshman representatives, Huo Wanxi and Meng Chuan. We hope you enjoy it."
